Answer:

Explanation:

First, you'll want to combine like terms by bringing the

x's together. This can be done by adding 7x to both sides.

4 − 7x = 5x

to get

4 = 12x

To solve for x, you must divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x which is 12 and then simplify.

x = 4/12

x = 1/3

x is therefore equal to 1/3.
